How much does NYC pay for information regarding crooked cops and corrupt politicians?

It’s nice to know that New York States financial condiion is so good that they can afford to piss away taxpayers money by rewarding pimps who report a neighbor for an illegal gun.

Heh.

Here's the details - I may just call them myself... except the Texas area code on the caller ID would "tip" them off.

NY State has established a toll-free tip line – 1-855-GUNSNYS (1-855- 486-7697) to encourage residents to report illegal firearm possession. The tip line also allows for information to be submitted via text – individuals can text GUNTIP and their message to CRIMES (274637). The New York StatePolice staff the tip line 24 hours a day. Upon receiving a call, troopers will solicit as much information as possible regarding a firearm tip then contact the appropriate police agency with the lead to initiate an investigation. If the information leads to an arrest for the illegal possession of a firearm, the “tipster” will be awarded $500.

I know but, IMO we need to take the high road here.

Wonder if the Feds will attempt to find the posters who tipped off the ATF and CPS or do they encourage such? In NY, apparently they do.

>>> New York offers $500 reward for reporting illegal gun owners

Interested minds alike want to know what New York Cuomo want to do about it (the info on illegal gun owners).

If I were a New Yorker, I would demand Cuomo spit out his plan before allowing him give out 'rewards'.

Talk about a field day for anyone with a microphone in front of their face.

I’d come up with “official reports” of rewards being paid for turning in anyone that was a Jew, Black, illegal, homo, Christian, Muslim, you name it.

I would flood the airwaves with the “official” reports.

I'd report the address of every illegal alien in the state. Most probably have illegal guns anyway.

“That’s called ‘stooping to their level’ and it’s illegal.”

So here we are in a mud pit fighting animals who don’t obey laws and you want us to abide by the Marquis de Queensbury rules.

You’re quite a piece of work, new guy.
